The Encyclopedia of Comics

Like comedy? You'll enjoy the encyclopedia of comics, from Abbott & Costello to Zacherley, available at http://www.comedystars.com/homepage/ .

The list runs down the left side of the page. Click on it, and you'll get a biography on the right. All the biographies I looked at included birth dates, headshots (not current ones, it looked like just a variety of promotional shots), and biographical information with enough commentary to make it interesting. Also a list of artists' works are included, including stage, movies, television, and audio.

I kept trying to find a comic the list didn't include, and didn't have much luck. In fact, the only comic I really missed here was Vicki Lawrence of the Carol Burnett show. Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, and Carol Burnett were listed, why not Vicki Lawrence? Note that some a few comics are listed on the pages but don't seem to have entries yet.
